    Artist: Blink-182 Title: Enema of the State Label: MCA Rating: 7/10 Blink is back. With a new label, but the same old punk rockin’ and power cord playin’ carefree attitude, they rip through the twelve tracks on their latest album, Enema of the State. I think it helps tremendously that they seem to love what…

  • Blink-182

    Tom DeLonge – Guitar, Vocals Mark Hoppus – Bass, Vocals Travis Barker – Drums In the life of every band, there comes a time to take stock; to reflect on goals set and goals achieved; to offer a silent prayer of thanksgiving for the many blessings so richly bestowed upon us.

  • Blinker The Star

    “My songs are a way of communicating things I would never really want to talk about,” confesses Blinker The Star frontman Jordon Zadorozny (Za-duh-ROZ-knee; Zador rhymes with sadder).

Well, he was doing everything he could to get her into his bunk, saying stuff like ‘I need…

  • Mary J. Blige

    Nobody tells it like Mary. With a voice that is rough and ready, sweet and pure, Mary J. Blige is capable of conveying heartache and happiness in a single musical phrase. A confessional singer, her emotional honesty reflects the great traditions of blues and soul with a ripped-from-the-pages-of-your-diary immediacy that has won her countless honors…

In actual fact, Blind Faith…
